Abstract
The aim of this module is to learn about the effects of emergencies on children and the need for rights-based Integrated Child Protection Centres. It first examines the conceptual framework of emergencies and their effects on communities, families and implications for children. It then reviews the effects of emergencies on children’s basic needs and development, disturbance in normal life routines and psychosocial distress. It focuses on the development of awareness of rights of children in emergency situations, namely the principles of humanitarian action, the principles of child protection in emergencies, the Children’s Charter for Disaster Risk Reduction and the rights of separated, unaccompanied and orphan children. It finally highlights the need for rights-based community-based Integrated Child Protection Systems in emergencies for strengthening systems for children and to provide services at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels.
